Questions from a Christian exploring Islam

Assalamu alaikum. I'm a Christian but I've been curious about Islam. There are some things that confuse me, mostly about Jesus. In Islam, Jesus isn't considered the Son of God or divine, and I've heard that the belief in his divinity was added later by his followers. But I've studied early church history a bit and it looks like that belief was always around. Is there any historical evidence from an Islamic perspective that supports the Islamic view? Also, what about the prophets in the Torah-how do we know their original teachings weren't changed over time? JazakAllah khair for any answers.

The Quran is clear that Jesus was a prophet, not divine. The concept of Trinity was never taught by Jesus himself. Early Christians were divided; the unitarian view existed but was suppressed later.

For the Torah, we believe original revelations were given to Moses but later corrupted. The Quran confirms what remains true and corrects the changes. Check out the story of the golden calf.

SubhanAllah, even the Bible has verses where Jesus says 'the Father is greater than I' (John 14:28). How can he be co-equal?

May Allah open your heart. Read the Quran yourself with an open mind, especially Surah Maryam.
